The 11,000 SF renovation to the Museum will bring state-of-the-art and interactive techniques to tell Mother Seton’s life story, from childhood to sainthood. The project will include the reconfiguration of the original grand, but underutilized entrance near the shrine basilica into a spacious and welcoming visitor center that will lead people into the new museum. It will consist of four new exhibit areas including two of which are being used for the special exhibits, as well as the fitout of a new gift shop for the museum. Extensive demolition has been completed to the existing structure and new finishes are being added.
